Flittard's rollercoaster ride: from league leaders to relegation battle!

Flittard's rollercoaster ride: from league leaders to relegation battle!

The SpVg. Flittard is currently facing a big dilemma: all that is left of the shining leader in the national football league 1 is the shadow of days gone by. While the team was still flying high on September 21st when they took first place with an away win in Spich, the Flittarders have experienced a bitter fall since then. In the last three games there were only defeats, a total of 3:11 goals - a negative trend that the team simply cannot stop. Last matchday they lost 4-1 at home against Borussia Lindenthal-Hohenlind. After an initial lead by Jeff Sell in the 21st minute, the guests turned the game around with goals from Florian Hensel and Karim Sharaf and another from Justus Urbig.

The streak of losing penalties does not go unmentioned: Both Mohamed Mastur and captain Urbig missed their penalty kicks. Coach Angelo Mazza has already expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee's decisions and wants to respond to the deficient defensive work. “Scoring goals against us is too easy,” said Mazza, who now wants to concentrate on defense. The Flittard fans can be curious to see whether the team can build on their previous successes with the necessary concentration and fighting spirit.

Rising trends and further events

Nevertheless, there are bright spots in the Cologne football scene. The newly promoted Blau-Weiß Köln were able to achieve an important victory and triumphed 3-2 against SV Schlebusch after Mathias Janeczko was sent off with yellow and red. Goals from Marco Delonga, Fabio Dopierala and Ben König secured victory for Blue and White. These teams show that the competition in the region remains very balanced and spectators can look forward to the next games.

The top game in District League 1 between Deutz 05 and SSV Jan Wellem also ended in a 1-1 draw, with Deutz coming back from behind. Deutz coach Markus Hilmer described the duel as an equal encounter with clearer chances for the guests.

A special look at Turkish FC Cologne

In the meantime, Turkish FC Cologne is a topic of conversation: coach Oguz Kahraman resigned and assistant coach Andrew Sinkala is now taking over the reins of the team. The coaching situation causes unrest, but there is hope for a new beginning. A ray of hope: Anil Capkin, TFC's best scorer, is returning to team training after a work-related break. It remains to be seen whether this new beginning will produce fruitful results.
